Lot description
Prusisyon Series signed and dated 1981 (lower left) acrylic on canvas 30" x 40" (76 cm x 102 cm) Accompanied by a certificate issued by Art Circle Gallery and signed by the artist confirming the authenticity of this lot Known for his colorful, geometrical Folk art style, Manuel Baldemor's pieces evoke the quintessential Filipino rural life by presenting a vibrant canvas that weaves together elements of Filipino culture. Shaded in an earthy color palette to convey a sense of humility from the subject matter, Baldemor's masterpiece highlights a tight landscape of houses, churches, plants, animals, and groups of people—all woven like compartments in a tapestry, effectively creating an emotional and cultural landscape that shows sides of Filipino cultures such as religion and bayanihan, celebrating the Filipino Culture. Through this landscape, Manuel Baldemor's role as a visual storyteller of Philippine Life was solidified. His illustration, pattern, and symbolic space provide a humble, spiritual, and united representation of his culture in a single image— developing what is supposed to be an ordinary rural scene into a timeless cultural portrait.
